Running Total for Count Distinct Measure

[Anonymous]

I am trying to count distinct values in a by date and create a new measure that calculates the cumulative sum of the distinct counts as the time period progresses: The table on the left is representative of my data table. The table on the right is what I would like to my counts to look like.

Any help you can provide is appreciated!!

HI @Anonymous 

I used the below to get the running total.

CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Count Distinct Product] ),
    ALL ( 'Table' ),
    'Table'[Date] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
)

Assuming you have a calendar table

https://exceleratorbi.com.au/power-pivot-calendar-tables/

something like this

Distinct products =DISTINCTCOUNT(data[product])

Running total =CALCULATE(sumx(values(calendar[date]),[Distinct Products]),Filter(All(calendar),calendar[date] <= max(calendar[date])))

use the calendar date column in your visual.
